Akufo-Addo Declares 3-Days Prayer For Ghana's Health

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged Christians and Mulsims to say a prayer of gratitude for Ghana’s health amidst economic difficulties.

Addressing the Nation on Mesures to Taken Against the Spread of the Corporation and update on the IMF Program on Sunday, Akufo-Addo said Muslims should say their prayers on June 2nd and Christians undertake theirs on 3rd and 4th June.

“We are a God-fearing and a God-loving nation, and that is why throughout my presidency, I have consistently stressed that the Battle is the Lord’s. Thus, three years ago, when the pandemic first hit us, I asked for a National Day of Prayer and Fasting for God’s help to be observed on 25th March, 2020. Now that the Lord has heard our prayers and seen us through this COVID trial, I would respectfully ask that next Friday, i.e. 2nd June, all Muslims should say a special prayer of gratitude for our nation’s health, and that next Saturday and Sunday, i.e. 3rd and 4th June, all Christians should do the same.”

“Fellow Ghanaians, we shall overcome our present economic difficulties. The Battle is indeed the Lord’s. Goodnight, and may God bless us all and our homeland Ghana, and make her great and strong. I thank you.”
